More often than not, articles about sex tend to focus on how to be better at it, as in more experimental, more exciting, and so on. However, the corresponding advice also largely focuses on how women—not men—can be hotter, sexier, and just all around better in bed. Which, according to a new study, isn't exactly necessary.

A recent poll of couples shows that we need to empower men to find new ways to please us. While nearly 80 percent of men report they they're "very happy" or "happy" with their sex lives, only 61 percent of women say the same. Which, okay, is more than half at least, but it's still not so great, if you ask us.

Aside from revealing that women are collectively less satisfied with our sex lives, the survey also showed a big disparity between how content we think our partners are compared to reality: 79 percent of guys think their partners are happy with their sex lives (as mentioned, only about 60 percent actually are), while only 55 percent of women think their men are sexually satisfied (again, nearly 80 percent are).

What's even more fascinating about these results is that, while men are more sexually satisfied then women, they are also more likely to think their sex lives are predictable (68 percent of men, as opposed to just over 50 percent of women).

All we know is this: The collective social conversation about sex needs to shift from what women can do to please their man in bed to how guys need to step up their game. The ball's in your court, guys.
